  "summary": "The standard Door James rollout is built for speed: as a planning assumption around four weeks per first location, with further locations running in parallel. The sequence covers 15 steps from kick-off through SSO setup, capture of floor plans and assets, configuration and approval to training and go-live. There is no implementation fee for the standard rollout.",

      "text": "Door James is a standardized product. The rollout therefore consists not of development but of data capture and configuration. That shifts the critical path: the pace is set not by the software but by the availability of your location data."

      "heading": "What you can prepare before the start",
      "level": 2,
      "text": "Three things noticeably shorten every rollout. First, current floor plans in a usable format. Second, a complete list of bookable resources with numbering, type and equipment. Third, an appointment with whoever approves Entra ID registrations in your organization. Clarifying those three before the kick-off usually saves one to two weeks."

    {
      "question": "Can we roll out several locations at once?",
      "answer": "Yes. After the first location the sequence is established; further sites run in parallel, depending on how quickly location data arrives."

      "question": "Who maintains the locations afterwards?",
      "answer": "Your location and organization administrators in the Admin Panel. That is exactly what the role model is designed for."

      "question": "Do we need a project team?",
      "answer": "One project owner plus one responsible person per location is usually enough. A larger team is not necessary; clear ownership is."
